Where the Road Ends: Map Wilderness Areas
Wilderness areas offer a primitive and challenging backcountry hunt due to restrictions on motor vehicles, limited access points, and steep and rugged terrain. onX Hunt’s Wilderness Areas Map Layer helps you get away from the crowd and into game.
Find Reduced Hunting Pressure
Get away from the crowds and find more animals when you break away into wilderness areas. When easily accessible public lands are too busy for your liking and hunting pressure is too high, it’s time to leave the roads behind and head into the wild for solitude. onX’s Wilderness Areas Map Layer can help you find those places.
Avoiding Motorized Access Violations
If you’re near wilderness areas or hunting in and out of a wilderness area boundary, the onX Hunt App helps you clearly understand where you cannot go with a car, side-by-side, e-bike, or bike. These clear boundaries differentiate wilderness areas from private land with clearly marked boundaries.
Even when you’re deep in the wilderness and not having to worry about land ownership boundaries or trespassing, it is imperative to know where you are.
